Vienna Wurstelprater Exploration Game and Tour

Step into the shoes of a talking pirate parrot and uncover the hidden stories of Vienna's legendary theme park.


This Vienna Wurstelprater exploration game turns a visit to one of Europe's oldest amusement parks into an interactive adventure played entirely on your phone. You take on the role of Polly Cracker, a talking parrot and one half of the world's fourth most famous pirate duo, searching for your missing partner Bobby Bluebeard. As you solve each clue, the story unfolds and precise directions guide you to the next location.

The game is designed to be self-guided, meaning you set the pace and explore at your leisure. Directions are delivered through your phone, so there is no need for a live guide or a fixed schedule. The format blends elements of an outdoor escape room, a treasure hunt, and a storytelling tour into a single 55-minute experience.

The route passes through both well-known landmarks and lesser-visited corners of the Prater, revealing the history and folklore behind the rides and sculptures. Stops range from the iconic Giant Wheel to the Brass Sculpture of Calafati, each tied to a chapter in the narrative. The experience works for solo travellers, couples, families, and small groups sharing one device or each playing on their own.

After booking, you receive an email with instructions to download and start the game. No special equipment is required beyond a smartphone. The difficulty level is easy, making it suitable for most ages and fitness levels.
